#63 Network: Host-Only - Named vs General Mixup

[Viktor Tönköl]

Hi Ian,

I'm having issue with using Host-Only Named Network.

I set it on RemoteBox (Host-Only (Named Network)), however I get this on the cli:
NIC 2: MAC: 080027571833, Attachment: unknown, Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82540EM, Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: deny, Bandwidth group: none

Once I use this command to set it:
VBoxManage modifyvm dnas3-devext --nic2 hostonly --nictype2 82540em --hostonlyadapter2 vboxnet0

I have it correctly:
NIC 2: MAC: 080027571833, Attachment: Host-only Interface 'vboxnet0', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82540EM, Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: deny, Bandwidth group: none

However RemoteBox shows: Host Only (General) type and no selector for the named network.

If I do not change anything on the UI it stays as is, so I'm not really blocked, but you know if it would work, would be much nicer, took me some time to figure out where the problem lies :)

If you need more info let me know, thanks!

All the best,
Viktor

Thanks Viktor. I'll take a proper look soon as I see that Virtual Box 7.2 is in beta which means I will probably need to make some API updates to support that version so I'll probably include any fixes in that release.

This has been fixed in the latest release, 3.7. Thanks again Victor
